In our house we find every reason to CELEBRATE! So we decided to have a little fat Tuesday party with our little family:) We had beads, made a king's cake and then spread the love through the neighborhood....
As part of the celebration of Mardi Gras, it is traditional to bake an oval cake in honor of the three kings - the King Cake. The shape of a King Cake symbolizes the unity of faiths. Each cake is decorated in the traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple represents justice, green represents faith and gold represents power. A small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus, is baked into each cake. Mommy didn't have a little baby so we put an almond in the middle. Whoever gets that piece has good luck that year. Daddy cut the cake (so I promise there was no cheating) and mommy got the surprise almond:)
Miss Syd even made a fat Tuesday crown today too! There was too much "King cake" so we decided to take some around to the neighbors. Syd and Dane loved to ring the door and shout "Happy Fat Tuesday!"
